*Professor of Psychology;*

*Director, Center for Developmental Science*

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) seeks an eminent
developmental scientist to serve as a tenured full professor in the
Department of Psychology and to direct the Center for Developmental Science
(CDS).

Founded in 1921, the Department of Psychology is composed of 44 full-time
tenured and tenure-track faculty members, and a comparable number of
psychologists who are affiliated with the Department on the basis of
adjunct, clinical, or research appointments. The Department offers one of
the most popular undergraduate majors in the College of Arts and Sciences,
as well as opportunities for graduate study in behavioral neuroscience,
clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology,
quantitative psychology, and social psychology.  Graduate training reaches
beyond the boundaries of the Department, as most members of the faculty are
affiliated with interdisciplinary centers on campus, such as CDS (see
http://www.cds.unc.edu/index.htm).

Building on the interdisciplinary Carolina Consortium on Human Development
that was founded in 1987 by Robert B. Cairns (Psychology) and Glen H. Elder,
Jr. (Sociology), the CDS was established in 1994 as an interdisciplinary and
inter-institutional advanced study center.  The Center’s mandate is to foster
basic research on behavioral development, translate this work into effective
services for children and youth, and provide strong pre- and post-doctoral
training programs. The Center brings together more than 90 faculty members
from six universities in central North Carolina and many disciplines:
anthropology,
behavioral genetics, education, behavioral neurobiology, nursing,
pediatrics, psychology (including clinical, cognitive, developmental, and
quantitative psychology, as well as developmental psychobiology),
psychiatry, public health, social work, and sociology.

The Director of CDS provides leadership for its research and training
programs and for collaboration among its affiliated faculty members,
graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scientists. He or she
is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective alliances with
individuals, programs, and institutions that are engaged in cutting-edge
developmental research, and for creating and maintaining funded programs of
collaborative interdisciplinary and cross-institutional research. The
Director also provides leadership for the training program and other
activities of the Carolina Consortium on Human Development.  He or she is
assisted by an executive committee of Center faculty and by a scientific
advisory board. The directorship is a secondary “at-will” administrative
appointment reporting to the Associate Provost for Academic Initiatives in
the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost.
We welcome applications from senior researchers in all areas of
developmental science. The successful candidate should share the faculty’s
commitment to an interdisciplinary developmental science and have a
distinguished record of research, grant support, teaching, and program
development. He or she also should demonstrate the ability to provide
administrative and supervisory oversight.

The University, Department of Psychology, and CDS have strong commitments to
the principle of diversity, and we specifically invite and encourage
applications from women and members of ethnic and racial minority groups.  Each
applicant should submit a curriculum vitae (with the names of four
references, along with contact information), a personal statement, as well
as relevant reprints and preprints.

To apply, go http://jobs.unc.edu/2500530.  Nominations and inquiries may be
addressed to Dr. Peter A. Ornstein, CDS Director Search Committee Chair, c/o
Ms. Debbie Stevenson, 104 South Building, CB# 3000, The University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3000, or
debbie_stevenson@unc.edu.  Review of applications will begin December 1,
2010 and will continue until the position is filled.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is an equal opportunity
employer.
